Anti-leishmanial activity of a topical miltefosine gel in experimental models of New World cutaneous leishmaniasis

摘要

Objectives: Topical treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) would be useful for treatment of some forms of the disease. The aim of this study was to develop and then evaluate a topical miltefosine gel for anti-leishmanial activity and toxicity in BALB/c mice infected with New World (NW)-CL species.
